| 01-1752 | St. Marys Falls Canal and Locks, Michigan; Use, Administration and Navigation | Proposed Rule | The Corps of Engineers proposes to amend its regulations on procedures to navigate the St. Marys Falls Canal and Soo Locks at Sault St. Marie, Michigan to incorporate changes in navigation safety procedures published in three Notice to Navigation Interests issued on March 29, 2000. We propose to remove reference to oil tankers having draft and beam permitting transit through the Canadian lock, since the Canadian lock no longer can handle oil tankers. We propose to prohibit the cleaning and gas freeing of tanks on all hazardous material cargo vessels while either in the lock or while in any part of the Soo Locks approach canals. As an additional vessel safety measure, we propose to limit movement to a single vessel whenever a tank vessel is within the limits of the lock piers either above or below the locks. We also propose to allow tankers with any type cargo to transit the MacArthur Lock when the locks park is closed, while tankers carrying non- combustible products will be allowed to transit the MacArthur Lock when the park is open. We propose to clarify that vessels carrying explosives are prohibited from transiting U.S. Locks. | 2001-01-23 | 2001 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/01/23/01-1752/st-marys-falls-canal-and-locks-michigan-use-administration-and-navigation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-01-23/pdf/01-1752.pdf | Defense Department; Engineers Corps | 103,142 | The Corps of Engineers proposes to amend its regulations on procedures to navigate the St. Marys Falls Canal and Soo Locks at Sault St. Marie, Michigan to incorporate changes in navigation safety procedures published in three Notice to Navigation... |
